More information

{{ config.mail_domain }} provides a low-maintenance, resource efficient and interoperable e-mail service for everyone. What's behind a chatmail is effectively a normal e-mail address just like any other but optimized for the usage in chats, especially DeltaChat.

Choosing a chatmail address instead of using a random one

In the Delta Chat account setup you may tap LOG INTO YOUR E-MAIL ACCOUNT and fill the two fields like this:

  • Address: invent a word with {% if username_min_length == username_max_length %} exactly {{ username_min_length }} {% else %} {{ username_min_length}} {% if username_max_length == "more" %} or more {% else %} to {{ username_max_length }} {% endif %} {% endif %} characters and append @{{config.mail_domain}} to it.

  • Password: invent at least {{ password_min_length }} characters.

If the e-mail address is not yet taken, you'll get that account. The first login sets your password.

Rate and storage limits

  • Un-encrypted messages are blocked to recipients outside {{config.mail_domain}} but setting up contact via QR invite codes allows your messages to pass freely to any outside recipients.

  • You may send up to {{ config.max_user_send_per_minute }} messages per minute.

  • Messages are unconditionally removed {{ config.delete_mails_after }} days after arriving on the server.

  • You can store up to {{ config.max_mailbox_size }} messages on the server.

Who are the operators? Which software is running?

This chatmail provider is run by a small voluntary group of devs and sysadmins, who publically develop chatmail provider setups. Chatmail setups aim to be very low-maintenance, resource efficient and interoperable with any other standards-compliant e-mail service.
